Sunshine here in Maine and warmer temps- 70 out front in shade and 78 out back in the sun.( #1 the list)

 I had planned to have my own photos for you this month....I'll try to take some picture s today for tomorrow and the weekend.   Pink Bee Balm...Leading Lady.  Covers an area nicely the photo.

I packed up box number four of linens and ancient cloth for the DyeWorx.  I'll carry it to the postoffice on Friday.  Before Library and Grocery.   It's nothing to get "real" excited about Deb.. 

The packing up of the box checked off #3 on the list of Five things... # 6 is to tell you what I am reading and that is Emily Henry's Great Big Beautiful Life.  7 day book.  I am less than half way...been two days. so my Reading has slowed considerably.   I also set the TiVo to record the European Soccer games. I may not have them in order so I could be watching a team that has already lost. #4 -thing I could have done better.

I have watched zero Tennis.  Used to be something I enjoyed watching.  Used to be.........not anymore.

I watched  Bones episodes....possibly two.  One was Finder and I always love watching that episode. That would be #5 -thing that brings me joy.

I remembered to wrap my ornamental outdoor containers in netting before it got dark...I also went into the garage and found the Blood Meal....keeps the deer away from my container plants as the deer smell blood and stay away...but haven't seen much evidence of deer.  I think there is too much auto traffic on the street that borders on the Town Commons behind my house.   It's become a street people are NOW using to get away from the four way stop.....meant to slow traffic.  Possibly the deer have gone somewhere safer.

Number 2 is to commit to doing something today.....stumped as to what that might be.

Well, I have oatmeal to eat and coffee to drink and the news paper to read.  And several unfinished Suduko to give a second look to......or third or fourth or fifth look before tucking them all in the paper shredder..  I am not doing well on the puzzles.

I also do not have socks on today yet....but do have on a long sleeved thermal shirt.  I haven't opened any windows so the inside of the house is nice and cool....eventually we have to install the AC units in the two windows or buy new ones and install them in the windows.  Might take awhile..... good thing my body is running cold these days.  Still using the big down comforter at night.
